My gosh you're all so lovely. I love all your hair styles. I tried this hairstyle out of lauren's book "vintage hairstyling". Instead of hot rollers I just slept in sponge rollers. It's not much compared to everyone else but I enjoyed it

Ooh, Nosferaturoams just adorable! Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone... Hair came out decent. I loved the back, but the front was my go-to two rolls. I don't think I got any good photos, but I'll look!

Hi everyone :)
I'm new around here- but I wanted to see what you guys think of my hair atm- this was taken on the second day of my pin curl set- turned out better than I expected!

And this was today's attempt-

I've only just managed to get into the proper swing of doing victory rolls recently- my fringe has been at that annoying length where it just doesn't want to roll for a while- but with some practise I've managed to tame it! Practise makes perfect, however :)

SiobhanJulia, your hair is too cute!! Oh, and welcome to the Lounge : )

Nosferaturoams, your hair is so darling as well!

I'm loving the new influx of young ladies! That sounds really creepy lol, but what I mean is that it's great to see other girls my age rocking such amazing vintage hairstyles!

Everyone's hair is so gorgeous!! (Jealous!)

I just got a middy cut a few weeks ago and am still getting the hang of it. Pin curls elude me, still (though I've found some fantastic books, recently!) So here it is...all curled and fluffed:

Middy


Still not quite where I'd like it to be. I just have to get over being all thumbs, and learn pin curls for real, now!

I think lots of us are seeing rockabilly more and more often. That's slightly how I was introduced into this style. I favor old-fashioned vintage instead of the rockabilly (Rita Hayworth was the true reason I dove right into the 40's/all of this) but both are nice. It's c.1950's (which is my favorite style thus far. Especially since I'm pretty "curvy" round the stomach) :)

nosferaturoams...thanks for the compliment! And I wish MY first pin curling turned out like that, too :) That's my hair, after curling with brush curlers....I'm such a cheater! It's a fairly quick way to get it dry (especially under a hard bonnet dryer, since the curlers are so airy) so I curl my hair mostly every morning. It makes for a bit too much volume at the sides, though. Honestly, I'd rather pincurl and sleep on it (if I can ever get the hang of it) since curling and drying every morning adds about a half-hour to my routine (plus think of the wear and tear on my hair!!). Sigh! How DO you ladies do it??? ;)

I did a comparison set to show the wave the more commonly found Marcel waver gives. It's a larger wave, but shallower and doesn't last as long.

This set picture is from when my hair was much shorter, but shows what this type of Marcel waver looks like.
